The Black spot. An insane sequence with potential, and a cameo from >!Dick Haloran from The Shining!<

I like how they let Michelle Trachtenberg dance instead of sing because that is what she was more comfortable with.

Community doesn't have as much heart, drama and emotional scenes as the others on that list, that's not a diss to it, it's one of my favourite shows, but it doesn't fit into the comedy-drama genre at all

It doesn't. The show is boring and dreary throughout.
It is just that there are people who think that boring and dreary is great. These are the people who think "prestige" television is good.

It certainly wasn't rare occurrence and yes this episode is not typical Party down.

Star Trek TNG would have been much better if they'd just kept the best ten episodes.

Buffy might have become a cult hit but it probably would have just blended in with everything else out there.

I mean sure, but looks like they abandoned that in the later seasons because the women were so one dimensional. Carla finally broke out it seems by the last season with what she wanted and her boundaries being recognized.

This show will never end.
The first season was actually pretty good. Then the entire town started buying coats at Ross and stopped being a poor frontier town.

The Magicians had fun musical episodes (except the final one that just wasn’t good), and the cast had some really strong singers. That said, I have a hard time comparing because The Magicians didn’t use original songs, compared to musical episodes in shows like Buffy or Scrubs.

Covid cancellations were understandable, for the most part. This here is just backstabbing fuckery

I love how you corrected yourself. You were all coming for yourself in your own comment.

Marshall finding out his dad died in How I Met Your Mother. Lily struggling to tell him because she's so upset makes it more painful, come to think of it. The chemistry was great.

And "I think this line's mostly filler", Alyson Hannigan's only line in the song because she's bad at singing.

Reply to comment by sweetpeapickle in ‘Sherlock’ Star Amanda Abbington Says “Nepotism” Helped Her Land Role In BBC Drama by Neo2199
There is a difference between a family business, and people getting hired for jobs in a business that is not owned by their family because of personal relationships.
Also, not caring about a thing, because there are other things that are worse isn't a sign of great intelligence.
And if you do want to us that argument: nepotism is part of a bigger problem, people gaining power and influence because of social background rather than knowledge and skill.
That would be less of a problem is society made it easier for people who don't have a support network to get ahead in life.

It's not really about nepotism per se, it's about these so-called nepo babies acting like they got to where they are now all because of their hard work and being better than others. They refuse to acknowledge that nepotism played a major part in that. That's the real issue at hand.
They would have never gotten there without nepotism.

This exactly. I can take or leave Star Wars, but Andor was really quite good.
Watch the first three episodes. You’ll know if you want to watch the rest.

This was the 1st episode I ever saw of Scrubs. I came home from my hospitality job and it was on late that night on TV. It drew me in because Brendan Fraser was in it and it was just kinda goofy at the start. I remember just sitting there completely mind blown at the end, it was just so well executed. The next few weeks my girlfriend and I went and bought all the available seasons on DVD and binged them haha.
